Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal matrix composite coatings have unique properties. Both the matrix and reinforcing phase type, as well as the method of production influence final application in the industry. Hard and refractory reinforcing phase (like carbides or borides) or self-lubricating particles contribute to increasing the performance parameters. This kind of coating may be obtained using laser processing like laser cladding or laser metal deposition, as well as using other surfacing methods or sintering. During all these processes, interesting physicochemical phenomena can be observed. The mechanical and microstructural properties obtained by these innovative processes are also important.
We invite researchers to contribute to this Special Issue on “Modern Metal Matrix Composite Coatings Reinforced With Carbides, Borides, Hard Phases and Self-Lubricating Particles”, which is intended to serve as a unique multidisciplinary forum focused on the production, properties, as well as applications of composite coatings reinforced with hard phases or self-lubricating particles. In particular, the topic of interest includes, but is not limited to:
- modern production methods of composite coatings;
- laser processing of coatings;
- microstructural analysis of modern composite coatings;
- laser cladding and laser metal deposition;
- scanning electron microscopy in coating testing;
- additive manufacturing;
- arbides and borides in coatings;
- self-lubricating coatings;
- corrosion resistance of coatings;
- wear resistance of coatings;
- phase and chemical composition analysis of coatings;
- microhardness and nanoindentation analysis

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Coatings is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
